And while we’re at it, why can’t appliances and devices have a TRUE OFF setting? Everything is in “standby” mode, it seems….I grew up with clunky devices that had a true OFF setting. Looks like we’d understand that passive energy use is just WASTEFUL.

Sun, 09 Jun 2013 02:24:05 +0000https://www.northamericansolarstores.com/SolarNews/?p=1258#comment-928Great article! I was able to purchase my $25,000 5-kw solar panel system for only $11,000 after incentives. But there’s one mistake in your article as your earn one SREC for each kilowatt generated. So my system produced 6 kW of electricity last year and earned me 6 SRECs. In your example, 7.8 kW of generated electricity would earn the homeowner 7 SRECs, since they are only offered in whole kW amounts.

Wed, 29 May 2013 13:30:54 +0000https://www.northamericansolarstores.com/SolarNews/?p=1194#comment-895I recently received a brochure from students at Concord Carlise HS seeking my receptivity to a solar installation on my roof. They indicate that my site was one of 100 such ideal sites in our town. unfotunately, i misplaced the correspondence and did not respond to the reqested expression of interest as a participant in the possible places that might be able to site solar panels. So, i am writing this message to let them know that I am interested in considering such but finances at this time is the only issue that i can think of as being a potential barrier. I ask them to contact me me should there is still some interest.

This in turn will raise the costs of the products these US manufacturers produce. Which, of course will raise the prices of thoses products. So… who are the winners and losers again?
